Package: dpkg Version: 1.9.17 The man page for dpkg is dated April 12, 1998. Mention of apt would be appropriate now. Also perhaps installing a link for a manpage of dpkg.conf to view the dpkg man page would be great.
Looking over the bug database for dpkg, I was surprised. There are alot of bugs for this package. This is one of a small handful of packages that Debian can not possibly work without. I understand as well there is added complexity because the software is being developed by Debian. I don't know the history of the people actually working on it and packaging it. I hope you are able to get the help you need in updating this package and the development resources to improve it. I am not sure what I can do to help, but if you posted a wishlist somewhere I and others might be able to assist somehow. Regards, -- -- Grant Bowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
